This week in Apple, we took a look at iTunes 10's new crazy interface, how advertisers are beginning to use HTML5 databases to store cookie-like information, iOS 4.1, and more. Have you been too busy playing with all of Apple's new stuff to pay attention to the news? We have the roundup.

Advertisers get hands stuck inside HTML5 database cookie jar: There has been a lot of talk recently about zombie browser cookies, but the tracking behavior enabled by some new HTML5 local storage features is also cause for concern. Ars looks at one prominent example that should give iOS device users pause.

Ars reviews the 6th-generation iPod nano: all screen, all the time: The sixth-generation iPod nano is unlike any other iPod nano Apple has ever sold. The device now has a touchscreen and its interface looks a lot like iOS, but it's really more of a mishmash between the iPod shuffle and the iPod touch. Ars gives it the once-over.

Have a great weekend, folks, and don't forget to enjoy the gorgeous fall weather!
